Drags dancing to the top Enthusiasm, perseverance and projec- tion were the qualities needed to become a 1980-81 Dragonette. During the summer, Dragonettes attended a drill team camp at North Texas State University near Dallas. The 41 girls entered a high kick routine and won second place. Before school even started they were well on their way planning the year's activities. At least 20 hours of practice each week were needed to prepare for football games or home basketball shows. Dragonettes also performed in pep rallies and the Spring show. Drago- nette of the Week - the most spirited, hardest working girl - was announced at the pep rallies. Along with the marching band, they attended competition at the Cotton Bowl and won 2nd place. They also partici- pated in the Crockett and Commerce Competitions. In addition, they decorated lockers, made colorful signs, and sold spirit ribbons for the games and mums during homecoming. The Dragonettes for this year are a fine group of young ladies who all work very hard, sponsor Mrs. Cathye Fuchs said.

Sacrifice by students wins two firsts As the cadence began, the Round Rock Dragon Marching Band prepared to assemble on the field. As they fell into attention, the announcer over the PA. began the halftime show, .. and now presenting the Pride of Drag- onland. This brought the crowd to their feet cheering the band on. The precision of the performance was due to the many hours of group and individ- ual practice that band members sacri- ficed for the program. Mr. Larry Jones, head band director, stressed that Round Rock band stu- dents are extremely talented and well trained, always performing to the best of their ability. With the beginning of the 1980-81 year, a new program developed in the band department. This new development was JV band. This new program was due to the increased enrollment in band. Both marching bands performed well in the non-U.l.L. contests. The var- sity band received second place for their performance with the Dragonettes in the Parade of the Champions held in Dallas. The JV band participated in the Westlake Marching Contest. Jones rel- ated that Round Rock accomplished what most schools in Texas can not touch, both marching bands receiving first divisions in U.l.L. competition.
